Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 5 scores — (9.0 + 8.0 + 8.0 + 7.0 + 9.0) ÷ 5 = 8.2.
Pros
- $129 on the official store — lowest price among certified-element devices here
- EAL6+ certified chip
- Colour touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3
- Vendor states support for thousands of coins and tokens
Cons
- Chip model is not named on the product page, only its certification level
- Open-source claim covers design and security but the page does not spell out what is fully published
- Signing needs a USB-C connection; no QR camera
What Trezor publishes about the Safe 5
The official product page lists $129, a certified EAL6+ chip, a 1.54-inch colour display at 240x240 behind Gorilla Glass 3, USB-C and a microSD slot. Asset support is given as thousands of coins and tokens rather than an exact figure.
What the page does not say
Trezor names the certification level but not the chip model, and it describes open-source security and design without stating precisely which components are published. Both details are available for some competitors, so the Safe 5 scores well rather than top on those two criteria.
Who it suits
At this price with a certified element and broad asset support, it is the most straightforward starting point in the category for someone who does not need air-gapped signing.
